Chapter 268 Going to the Market



Li Mingqing was speechless after hearing this.

This matter, which is completely unrelated, can still be blamed on Wu Xiaoya.

"This child has been living with the old couple of the Wu family recently. Zhou Xiaoshuang did this because he knew that the old couple was reluctant to part with their granddaughter, and it also saved him some food."

"No wonder Wu Xiaoya has become much more agile."

It is true that those who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black.

It would be better to let Mrs. Wu educate Wu Xiaoya while she is still young.

As soon as Li Mingqing opened the door, he saw Wu Xiaoya jogging towards him.

He came to Sun Jiaxue and stretched out his little hand, with two sour dates in his palm.

"Auntie, here."

"Thank you, Xiaoya. You can keep it for yourself."

"There are some at grandma's house."

Ever since Sun Jiaxue and Li Mingqing gave her two pieces of White Rabbit milk candies, she would send them some of anything edible.

Wu Xiaoya was so scared when she saw Wu Liguo coming over with a hoe that she ran away.

Sun Jiaxue originally wanted to give her one or two snacks, but she disappeared before she could take them out.

Zhou Xiaoshuang said: "Liguo, I think I saw Xiaoya."

"Maybe I'm seeing things. When I met her this morning, I told her to go to the mountain to collect firewood."

"Yeah, I vaguely saw someone running over."

"We're so busy, yet she still has time to run around. She's become even more clueless since she left home."

After Wu Liguo finished speaking, he looked at Li Mingqing and said, "Did my little girl just go over there?"

"Your little girl?"

"Yeah, it's not like you haven't seen it before."

"I heard that you didn't want this girl anymore and kicked her out."

"So what if I kick her out? She's still my daughter. I've raised her to this age and wasted so much food. I've done my best."

"Haha, you guys are really interesting. I think Aunt Wu should have kicked you out. She raised you to this age and gave you a wife. You are so ungrateful."

Wu Liguo's face was as thick as the Great Wall, and he didn't care about this at all.

He even said plausibly: "What do you know? It was obviously my mother who was depressed and wanted to die. My brother and I didn't beat her."

"Okay, your conscience has been eaten by a dog, don't be an eyesore here."

Zhou Xiaoshuang was unhappy and said, "It was that damn old woman who was disrespectful to her elders."

Li Mingqing ignored him and closed the door.

The old couple of the Li family and Yang Daya and her son just came back.

Zhou Xiaoshuang immediately came up and said, "Auntie, your Mingqing is too arrogant. You need to have a good talk with him. And his wife, she's taking advantage of her pregnancy to do nothing. I think Mingqing has to open the lock. She really thinks she's the ancestor."

Old Lady Li said, "You can't stand talking to me or my son."

"Auntie, how can you let your daughter-in-law ride on your head?"

"Zhou Xiaoshuang, if you're bored, go get out of here and stop meddling in other people's business. You kicked your own parents-in-law out, and you still have the nerve to talk about other people's affairs."

"This is all a misunderstanding."

Wu Liguo also spoke up: "Yes, it's a misunderstanding."

"I don't have time to listen to your trivial matters."

After saying this, Old Lady Li went into the yard.

Old man Li rarely spoke up and said, "Liguo, your father and mother raised you with all their hard work. We don't ask you to be extremely filial to them, but you still need to be sensible."

"Uncle, I know."

After Old Man Li entered the yard, Zhou Xiaoshuang whispered, "Mind your own business."

Yang Daya's violent temper is simply unbearable.

Before she could curse, she heard Zhou Xiaoshuang say, "Daya, why did you use such good material to make clothes for Si Niu? It's such a waste. A daughter can't compare to a son. You have to figure this out."

"Bah! I can raise my daughter however I want and wear whatever she wants. It didn't cost you a penny, so why are you so concerned? You're just bored.

If you yourself lack virtue, don't talk about others.

You haven't even figured out your own family affairs yet you have the nerve to talk about other people's affairs. You really have too much free time."

Zhou Xiaoshuang couldn't argue and left angrily.

She thought that the people in Old Li's family were different from normal people.

Not only does the daughter-in-law live a happy life, but the granddaughters also live a very good life.

What a waste to send him to school.

Sun Jiaxue poured the jelly into a plate, and Li Mingqing picked up the garlic cloves on the table and started peeling them.

“This jelly is quite delicious.”

"If you like it, we can make it ourselves. We have peas at home anyway. I can just grind them into powder in a mortar and pestle."

Li Mingqing didn't expect that his wife could make jelly.

What a clever and skillful person.

"When we get back this afternoon, I'll grind pea flour with you. It'll be faster if we grind it directly on the stone mill in front of the village."

"Okay, I'll pick the peas."

These peas were grown by Li Mingqing in the space, half a bag.

Originally, Sun Jiaxue planned to save the steamed pea buns for eating.

But there is still half a bag, which can be used to make several times.

He thought the peas he took out last time were not enough, so he took out another half bag.

Sun Jiaxue said: "That's enough. I cooked porridge a few times last time, and there's still a lot left."

"It's okay. The weather is getting cooler now, so it won't go bad if you keep it."

"I'll send two scoops to Mom later."

"You take a rest first. I'll drop it off for mom when I leave later."

She nodded. Her waist was indeed very tired. Not only was she tired, but she also had some pain in her waist.

"Brother Mingqing, please take a look at me. My waist hurts a little. Is everything okay?"

Li Mingqing took the pulse and said, "It's okay, it's normal."

She was really afraid of accidents.

Seeing her worried expression, Li Mingqing comforted her, "Maybe you're feeling a little uncomfortable because it's your first pregnancy. Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

Li Mingqing considerately wanted to rub her.

Seeing that she fell asleep, Li Mingqing carried a small basin of peas in the basket and went to the old house with confidence.

"Mom, have you eaten?"

"I have it. Jiaxue and your third sister-in-law bought some jelly for me. Come in and sit down. Your father is drinking."

"I'm in a hurry to go to work. I came to bring you some peas."

Old Lady Li looked at the plump peas and said with a smile:

"This is such a great product, every single one is a piece. I'm going to save it for steaming pea buns for Chinese New Year. Do you remember when you were little, you and your third brother fought from wall to wall over half a pea bun, neither of you giving in?"

"Mom, I remember we fought each other but neither of us got to eat it. Instead, it went into the stomachs of my eldest and second brothers."

"You can still think about it. You were only five years old at the time."

"I was smart since I was little, so I remember this clearly. My third brother and I cried so hard that the whole village could hear us."

"Life is so good now. I'll soak the peas in water right now. Don't eat at home tomorrow morning. Come here and eat."

Before, we couldn’t even afford a white flour bun, let alone a pea bun.

You need flour, peas and sugar.

Only during the Chinese New Year do we make one or two bean buns and share them with everyone.
